There’s no such thing as bad weather…

Three of the Best Waterproof Jackets for Women

A good waterproof jacket can make any kind of weather bearable, but a great waterproof jacket can make going out in the rain an absolute pleasure! And while waterproof choices used to be limited to a variety of less-than-stylish cagoules, designers have now cottoned on to the fact that people want functional coats that are also stylish and look great, whatever the weather.

 

Here are some suggestions for great waterproof jackets that will keep you warm and dry and stylish in a variety of situations.

 

For walking the dog

If you have to take the dog out several times a day no matter what the weather, then being warm and waterproof are key – but it’s good to have a little bit of style as well! A longer length jacket with a large hood and deep pockets for phones, keys and leads is ideal. Peter Storm’s Poppy Belted Jacket has a longer length fit, tie belt and stylish hood but is still packed with the technology and features of a more technical jacket, so you will stay warm and dry no matter what the weather throws at you.

 

For outdoor activities

If you are looking for a jacket to see you up and down mountains in any weather, you should be looking for a more technical design. A breathable fabric is important, together with taped seams and storm flaps to keep you dry no matter how wet, windy or snowy it is. The Sprayway Halo 3 in 1 jacket has a GORE-TEX® outer layer which is totally waterproof, breathable and windproof. Combined with its detachable inner fleece, you have a flexible jacket that will keep you dry all day.

 

For work

When looking for a waterproof jacket for work, you have to balance the need for business style against the need to stay dry. Fortunately, designers have taken notice of this and there are now a wide range of fully waterproof jackets that look as good on a walk in the country as they do on the way to a meeting in town. The Marmot Women’s Chelsea Coat is a great example, with a stylish knee-length down-filled design which not only looks great but also benefits from Marmot’s technical know-how in making great waterproof jackets.
